The design of the DC-9 was completely new, with T-tail and rear fuselage mounted engines. The aircraft was purpose-built for short to medium routes, and to serve smaller airports, often poor equipped and with short runways which bigger aircrafts like [[Boeing 707]] couldn’t serve. This made the DC-9 popular and widely used. There was build nearly 2500 DC-9 in more than 11 different variants.
